JOIN THE WOLFGANG AT A CANTER UNUSUAL HAUNTS

-

As the Austrian pop icon Falco (almost) once sang, “Won’t you amuse me with your operatic vision, Amadeus?”. What? Trinity Buoy Wharf in London’s Docklands is also in on the act, via a double bill of Mozart “pop-up opera” ( Bastien und Bastienne, Der Schauspiel­direktor), on May 16 (7-10pm; £17.50; trinitybuo­ywharf.com). What to do in Peterborou­gh on a Wednesday evening? If it’s May 16 (7.30-9pm; £4), you can opt to be scared into some sort of stupor at the Peterborou­gh Museum (vivacity.org), via “An Evening at the Priestgate Vaults”. This 16thcentur­y cellar is said to be haunted – in this case, by costumed characters from the building’s past. “Not suitable for those of a nervous dispositio­n” advises the promotiona­l blurb. Cripes, Shaggy! So, it’s May 18. You’re in Glasgow. And you want nt a night of nauticalac­cented fun. Obviously. So you need d the Glenlee (thetallshi­p. p. com) – a museum ship on the Clyde, built in the city in 1896, which h is joining in the Museums At Night joviality. How? Something to do with pirates, or rigging, or knots? Is it knots? No, it’s Glaswegian comedians, games, beer and hot meat pies. s. So there (7.30-11.30pm; m; £12, over-18s only). Kids across Newcastle will leap at the chance to stay up late and pretend their parents’ idea of humour is still funny at Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children’s Books (sevenstori­es.org.uk), which will host an evening (May 18; 7-11pm; free) dedicated to comic art – complete with cartoonist­s from The Beano, and a tuck shop.
